The current doubles
metagame revolves heavily around DLC characters, with most top teams having
either a Cloud or a Bayonetta on them. Nowadays it's rare to see Diddys placing
well in doubles besides Zero, Zinoto, and MVD, and even MVD usually switches to
Cloud for doubles. While Diddy isn't the best doubles character by any means,
he is still a valuable teammate when paired with the right partner.

Luigi
has always been considered to be one of Diddy Kong's harder matchups. He can
combo Diddy for high damage, he can gimp us with cyclone easily, and his low
traction makes it difficult to follow up on banana trips. If you go into a
match against Luigi without the proper knowledge, he will take your stocks in
the blink of an eye. However, if you are well versed in the matchup, I believe
that Diddy actually has an advantage against Luigi.

Too often I hear
people complain that they can't practice because they don't like Wi-Fi or they
don't have friends around to play with. This a poor excuse for not practicing;
there is a lot you can do by yourself in training mode alone to improve your game.

I am Benjamin "JJROCKETS" Rowe, a Smash Ultimate Diddy Kong main from Chicago, IL. Currently I live in Daejeon, Korea where I work as an elementary school English teacher. In Brawl and Smash 4, I was known as one of the top Diddy Kong players, and I am looking to continue this success in Ultimate. On my website I will be posting about my travels in Asia, my Smash Ultimate tournament experiences, guides on how to improve at Smash, and random thoughts about life. Besides blog style posts, I also have my tournament schedule with my upcoming events listed, and a compilation of my tournament results in Ultimate.
